Hi all and thanks for your responses.

To update; I've not had a drop of booze and it's now been over two weeks. The cravings have dramatically lessened and I feel slightly less irritable. However, symptomatically, things have not changed. To be honest, I didn't expect light-speed miracles but I was hoping...

I've been to see the doc (on everyone's advice-thanks guys) and she has taken bloods and has also referred me to a neurologist. I'm glad that I've got the ball rolling but I'm absolutely terrified of what they may find. Things going through my confused mind are: peripheral neuropathy, MS and, worse still MND.

I'm doing my best to stay positive though and hopefully all of this is just a spot of alcohol withdrawal symptoms....

Keep the faith guys.
